Now with firmware on your board you need to adapt grbl to your specific machine. To communicate with your board you need to open the arduino ide serial monitor. You should see a message like this "Grbl x.xj ['$' for help]" if you dont see the message, make sure that your are conn...
and if that’s the case, we can finally generate the G-code. For that we can go to Post Processes, select the GRBL firmware, select the output folder, name the file and click the post button.
The following method uses the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) to load the grbl software to the Arduino. The process is very similar to loading a “sketch” to your Arduino. If you are not familiar with loading software to the Arduino or do not have the latest Arduino software...
The SCARA robot has 4 degrees of freedom which are driven by 4 NEMA 17 stepper motors and controlled using an Arduino board. In the original video I used an Arduino UNO board in combination with a CNC Shield, but now we will use an Arduino MEGA board in combination with a RAMPs board....
Set the GRBL feed rate using this step by step guide to maximize the performance of your CNC machine. See how to get the most out of your machine.
Next I copy the .nc (gcode) file to my laptop that runs Universal Gcode Sender and is connected to my Arduino+grbl controlled CNC machine. Let me know if you have other questions. -Tim Reply ↓ FA February 3, 2018 at 7:48 am HI my GRBL controller cant send only ( .nc ) file...
